The current “Halloween” trilogy closes out in October with “Halloween Ends” which sees Jamie Lee Curtis take her final turn as Laurie Strode. One big change from the two previous films is the time setting. Both 2018’s “Halloween” and last year’s “Halloween Kills” unfolded across the same night in 2018. “Halloween Ends”, on the other hand, jumps several years forward, with the in-universe timeline catching up to the present day.
The film’s director David Gordon Green spoke with Total Film Magazine recently and says, as in some past “Halloween” sequels,” we won’t know where ‘The Shape’ went during the time gap:
“We don’t really explain that. It’s like: I don’t want to see where Jaws goes to sleep at night when I’m watching a shark movie. I want to see him when he pops up, and he’s got an appetite!
Meanwhile, Curtis spoke about filming her final scene for the movie, revealing it to be a solitary scene of her in a car. It was then that the significance of the moment hit her:
“I realized that would be the last time I ever saw Laurie Strode. It was very powerful for me. I wept. David wept. We all recognized that moment, that it was the wrap for Laurie Strode and me. And this community of artists who made these movies. It was a big deal.”
The talk comes as a new TV spot for the film has arrived and teases that it’s time to ‘put the boogeyman to bed’. “Halloween Ends” heads to theaters and Peacock simultaneously on October 14th.
